Liked: It was a really cool small place. Not a party hostal but we met enough people to socialise with (Just). First few days were very quiet.
If you want a relaxing stay this is a good alternative to party place poblado - this would be perfect!

Disliked: Other backpackers walk home from big nights out while we were stuck chasing and paying a bitt for cabs. Cant fault the hostel they were near perfect

Liked: The staff were extremely helpful and it has a nice courtyard with hammocks that are great to relax.

Disliked: Our room was tiny and had 8 beds in it, which left no space to move at all. There were no lockers just a tiny safe near reception, not big enough for even a small day pack.
The room had a low ceiling and the window had missing panes, which meant you heard the traffic all day and night through the window as it couldn´t be shut. Luckily, the road is rather quiet at night.
It´s a place to sleep but not hang out. I guess you get what you pay for. In their defense however, I had a look into the other rooms and they were a lot nicer. I think we just got unlucky by getting the room downstairs next to the kitchen as it was the only one big enough to accommodate the 7 of us.

Liked: We came to the Palm Tree after falling in love with their sister hostel in Valledupar (Provincia). These ladies really know how to do good hospitality - brilliantly well stocked kitchen, exceptionally warm and welcoming staff, perfectly clean rooms and bathrooms, and reliable security. There's also a few relaxing common areas both indoors and outdoors here, plenty of lounge space for times when you're not out exploring this fascinating city. Location is very convenient, less than 5 minutes to the Metro and right behind a giant supermarket. It's a safe, and typical residential area, fully apart from the touristy zone but very close to the center. One of the best hostel experiences we had in Colombia.

Disliked: We were happy with everything here. But if for some reason you want to stay in Poblado (the rich area, more popular with tourists, which is rather pretentious and snooty ). be aware that it's not very close by.

Liked: the wifi was banging and its not hard to get a hot shower (just get in first or wait about an hour after the morning rush). I, like almost every other person staying here, booked a couple days and stayed weeks (i was actually here until Nov 1rst - little over 2 weeks.
This hostel is really only a couple blocks from the metro too. And right behind a giant supermarket and close to a bunch of restaurants and a large pharmacy.

Disliked: The beds are not very comfy. Get better beds and this place would easily be the top hostel in Medellin.

Liked: I've stayed in most of the hostels of medellin. And this is without a doubt the best. It is also the first hostel in medellin. It is located in the neighborhood of E estadio, which is acutally close to a lot of things. It provides a breath of fresh air compared to cancun gringo party zone/culture lacking neighborhood of El Poblado. There are walls and walls of activity guides for the city in the Hostel. Plus the staff is the best in Medellin without a doubt. One of them gave me a free portuguse lesson! Highly Reccomended for those looking to avoid the overly saturated gringo scene of poblado and want to discover the real side of Medellin.

Disliked: I wished that there were more bathrooms, and that they had food available for purchase when all the stores were closed late at night.
